Upon reading the article on the same subject in the
Astalavista website, I thought that there was an easy way
than that explained in that tutorial. One that didnt needed
that software. This by no means intends disrespect to
anyone.
What you just have to do is to Find those files. The easy
way: Click Start, point to Find and click Files And Folders.
Start
---> Find ---> Files And Folders
When the dialog pops up, write "logo*.sys" (without the
quotes) in the Named field. Change the Look In field to
"Local Hard Drives (C:,D:,E:), and hit Start. The program
will show up atleast 2 files, named Logos.sys and Logow.sys.
The first one i.e. Logos.sys, is the file that displays the
"Its now safe to turn off your computer" screen.
The
second one displays the "Windows is shutting down" file.
Before proceeding any further, make sure to make backups of
both the files, incase you need them again ;).
Double click on any one. Windows will popup the "Open With"
dialog. Scroll downwards until you find the MSPAINT icon.
Select MSPAINT, and then click OK. Don't, I repeat don't,
select the "Always use this program to open this type of
file". Windows will now open this file in Paint. To paste
your own bmp, go to Edit, then select Paste From. Browse to
your required file, and then click Open. Paint will open the
file on top of that shutdown screen. Edit as necessary.
Remember to make the attributes of your new image file
320x400 or it would appear distorted or lengthened. Then
save that file. Shutdown your computer, and hola! there you
have that new image!
